“Opening Up” and “New” Social Behaviors

Altrua HealthShare encourages its members to become accustomed to some ”new” social behaviors. As your state or region starts to ease restrictions, here are a set of guidelines to help protect your family, keep the number of infections low, and prevent a resurgence of the virus.

Here are the basics to think about when going out:

1. Maintain physical distance from other people.

At minimum maintain a distance of six feet… ten feet where possible.

Avoid standing in front of others when having a conversation.

2. Wear a mask.

When you will be in/with a group of people

When having conversations… indoors or outdoors

Even if you have no symptoms

3. Wash your hands often.

4. When going out, opt for outdoor activities.

Try to avoid indoor venues and stores. And when you return home:

Wash your hands with soap for at lease 30 seconds

Wash your face.

Change your clothes and take a shower as soon as possible.

Be especially aware of yourself when meeting with high-risk people, such as those with chronic illnesses and the elderly.
